The hosting service for the messageboard has notified they will be doing some maintenance on Sunday, April 12, for 30 minutes in a window of 1:00AM and 5:00AM ET. The board will be down for those 30 minutes.

For all you techies, here's the message:

When..............: Sunday, April 12th, 2009
Window............: 1:00am - 5:00am ET
Estimated Duration: 30 minutes

We have found a problem with our core switch where it has been
erroneously flooding packets to multiple ports within the border VLAN
group.

FutureQuest and HP Procurve engineers have concluded that this is a
problem with the chassis backplane itself and necessitates a full
chassis and Gbit module swap.

This will disrupt all networking and we will appear offline during the
chassis swap... We have done as much as possible up front to minimize
the downtime and hopefully this should resolve the remaining issues we
have seen with our router core inter-communications...
